NNTP is my "Go To" or "fallback" option.  In the resent few days when I started 
to experience lockups and a couple of other issues with OXP when it would not 
toss the .PKTs, firing up Thunderbird and using NNTP allows me to catch up with 
missing echomail.

NNTP is a very fine solution for accessing echomail, but it does not add any so 
called BBS-experience.

I must have used Sempoint only briefly in Win-DOS mode on my OS/2. Because, I 
eventually discovered Fleetstreet reader for offline reading and stuck with 
that. FleetStreet was very fine.
